This is a shout-out to everyone with a certain New Year’s resolution… this incredible recipe will help kick that stubborn first 5 pounds in the a$$!  Happy New Year!!!!

I’ve mentioned before that I’m a shift worker, I mean looooooong shifts.  I barely see sunlight.  So packing a healthy and satisfying lunch is part of a strategy meant to cope with a difficult and very long shift.  Enter salad.  I love you salad.  I eat a salad everyday at work.  That’s right, everyday.  How do i do this and still love salad you ask?  Well, I switch up the veggies and the dressing, thereby creating an entirely new salad experience each and every time.  Here, we have a new dressing to try!

A recipe for a restaurant-style vinaigrette, perfect for any and all occasions; a Salad a day keeps the not-so-nice unhealthy stuff away 🙂
